Only the second visual novel entered to GWJ, as far as I can remember! The mystery was intricate and well thought-out, and I had fun trying to piece it together. That said, a few (constructive, I hope!) criticisms:

• The game lacks variety. It's totally understandable, given the scope you went for, but asking the same questions to seven different characters does wear a bit. If you weren't beholden to the theme, perhaps you could have had fewer characters to interview, and implemented follow-up questions depending on what you'd learned from other characters?
• The idea of needing to be careful not to ask the wrong question is a clever one; it's just that I had no idea that I needed to worry about that. With my Ace Attorney hat on, I thought I would have to click on every dialogue option available to me - it wasn't until you told me in the comments that I understood what I was supposed to do.
• Voicing seven unique characters yourself is a tough act to pull off, and it's a testament to both the writing and delivery that I could tell as many of them apart as I could - the Bard and Cleric for their accents, the Druid for her mannerisms - but some of the others are quite difficult to tell apart.
• The interface for asking questions was a little clunky; having to choose from 1, 2, or 3, and then having the textbox tell you what those options meant, isn't the most elegant solution in the world. Plus, I noticed that the voiceover reading those options aloud tended to carry on even when I'd moved on from that selection.

All in all, though, it's still an impressive entry, and definitely one of the most unique.

An interesting game with a lot more content than I was really expecting, but definitely some good content overall.  Not too complex in my opinion for the story, but it definitely tried to throw a lot of red herrings and there were a few.  I ended up just going with the best guess I had though and from what I understand it was correct.  There was definitely a lot of information being thrown around though and a lot of it made sense and confirmed/denied different stories and such.  

The one thing I would say from what I did where I talked to most of the characters is that their dialogue never seemed to really interact with each other.  Unless I just missed it, I never really got any indication that I should go ask someone else, they always seemed to confirm each others stories no matter what.  Which kinda removed a lot of the mystery since no one seemed to be lying.

It was definitely interesting seeing what looks to be a.. add-on?  Library?  (I'm not sure) for Godot being used for a Visual Novel.  I really didn't know something like this existed.  

To finish off since I'm already going for the wall of text, I do wanna ask about the background images cause at least personally they kinda detracted from the image the game seemed to be setting.  Since it was only 3-4 images max being shown without much to mix it up.  Especially without any character images to help offset the blank seemingly stock backgrounds.

What a huge amount of content. How many lines of dialogue did you write? I was struggling last jam with only a fraction of that :) And the voice lines. Really impressive amount of work and polish.

I enjoyed the story even though I could not figure it out in the end. Hope to see more from you! 

Very entertaining visual novel. Now, I’m coming to this game from the angle of someone who’s never actually played a visual novel…

I really liked the voice work. The audio was clean and clear. The acting was very nice, especially given the limited time of the game jam. The story (what little I did play, so far) is fun and interesting. I also liked the voice-over given to the menu options when accessibility is enabled. Here are a few observations though…

1. When in the proper, the menu options feel like they’re in a clunky place at the bottom of the screen. Often, as I was either moving my mouse to select an option, or just simply moving my mouse away from the text to read it better, I would hover over one of these options and the audio queue would speak over the dialog being spoken. It wasn’t a huge issue, but it happened several time. I think, if the “menu” was kept in it’s own area of the screen, that could make it easier. For instance, if the menu options were on the left (like the main menu) and the rest of the game took the majority of the right, it might reduce the chances of accidentally triggering those menu audio queues.

2. I know you mentioned you used an engine for the dialog system, but I’ll still mention this… There are times when I make a dialog option choice and it triggers the next dialog right away, while other times I make my choice and then nothing happens until I click the screen again. It does interrupt the flow just a little.

3. I’m not fully sure this is a bug or as designed, but, there were some options that I click on that gave me some dialog that was given in a previous option. Like I said, I’m not entirely sure if that was by design, or if the system was accidentally triggering dialog that belonged in other options by mistake. The way the story was written in the sections I encountered this, it didn’t interrupt the story, and it’s easy enough to click past the bits I had already listened to, but figured I’d mention it.

Over all, very nice game! Very good audio with an entertaining story! Excellent work!!

The music was really nice and the voice acting was very good! I really enjoyed it, and the story was nice as well.
Plus, I'm happy to see I didn't have the only visual novel style of game in this jam, haha!

The background music fits the game well! I would not expect having narrative voice in a jam game! Good job! I just watch others streaming this game as I do not have time to play it by myself and the game is quite lengthy to me.

I had a crash somewhere in the middle of the game, but I just carried on where I had left off. That certainly didn't go where I expected it to go! Music and voice casting was really great.

I encountered a couple of bugs: when I moved to the next dialog when the last one hadn't been finished, the audio for the next dialog would play, then the audio from the last one would resume playing. Also, at one point one of the dialogs didn't have voice over.

The writing and voice acting really made it seem like 7 different voices! must have been a *lot* of work. A little buggy in general but no big deal. I notice that the end handles a lot of different situations gracefully. I hope you feel really good about this!

The voice acting was truly wonderful. Great job giving each character a voice and personality! I did have quite a few crashes, but made it through! I couldn't seem to get the save/load to work.

Lovely voice acting!
